Earlier this year I was contacted by residents in Aspatria Avenue concerned about water running down the lane at the front of their properties and pooling in the road near the substation at the bottom of Corry Close.
Initially there was some uncertainty amongst the authorities about who actually owned and maintained the land - and a series of site investigations caused delays to remedial works taking place. However following additional site visits by both Northumbrian Water and the council’s highways and drainage teams works began recently to repair a damaged land drain.
I’ve been notified this morning that repair works are expected to be completed before the end of this week.
